How Disarmament in Africa Got More Complicated

WASHINGTON – The mother of a 17-year-old boy shot by a suspicious neighbour told a panel of U.S. senators Tuesday that state “stand your ground” self-defence laws do not work and must be amended, reviving the politically charged gun control issue a year ahead of the 2014 midterm elections.

One reason is the supply of weapons has been severely restricted, forcing criminals… [BBC News, via GunPolicy.org]

9mm Short-Barrel Choice: We’d Carry 124-Grain Speer Gold Dots
Among the most-popular concealed-carry handguns is the 9mm compact pistol. From the immensely popular mini Glocks to the Sig P290, there are quite a few pistols of this type in service. That’s not hard to understand why: in the same frame size, the 9mm is more powerful than the 380 ACP, and when compared to a similarly sized wheelgun, most 9mms offer more shots than a 38 Special. But many carriers who like the portability of a small 9mm pistol with a lot of shots worry how the 9mm compact’s terminal ballistics compare to the same rounds shot out of a full-size gun.
